Tarot in Media

What are some good tarot books, which deal in the meanings of the cards? Prefer keyword based meanings as that is easier to remember. Do make your recommendations!

I was reading the Guardian the other day, and saw that the Warburg Institute in London has a very interesting occult library - but more specifically, will be holding a show on original Tarot artwork in January. I'm not in London. Wouldn't it be nice of someone to take photos and tell us about it? Or perhaps some TTM members would like to visit as a group? It would be good if we could get temporary memberships for their occult library (being researchers on behalf of this forum). Would we write a book? What topic chapter would you want to write about? Just a suggestion - not sure if it's possible. Let me know your thoughts. I'll see if I can get …

I've been searching, but I seem to be too dumb to find the right keywords to google - I keep getting forums, reading offers and videos and other products vaguely related to Tarot. And, of course, a few sites I'm sure aren't quite legal. And a whole bunch of stuff for phones, which is not what I want at all. All I could come up with is Visual Tarot and Visual Oracle, but they are way too expensive as you have to buy them separately. Plus, it is not clear if it even supports unconventional deck sizes, they only show 36 and 78 card decks as options. My self made deck has double the number. I do not really need or even want card interpretations, spread…

I don't know which livestream it was, i looked at the time but no clue where It was tweeted 3 days ago. What caught my eye at first was john edwards support. So i read the tarot lady tweet and she shares she was blocked. I was not sure what to title this post. But i think it is important. In the past on psychic reading site, i saw couple of times a person would just go into advertising spiel instead of geniunely trying to help the person.

I saw a review in the Guardian today for a new general divination exhibition at Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries in the UK. Tarot, tarantulas and TikTok: exploring our long obsession with predicting the future A new exhibition at Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries examines the enduring appeal of divination https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/dec/07/tarot-tarantulas-and-tiktok-exploring-our-long-obsession-with-predicting-the-future Oracles, Omens and Answers It's on until the end of April 2025 and has free entry. Tarot is a part of it. There is also an exhibition book with the title Divination, Oracles & Omens Of…

Some people refuse to learn about the reality of tarot. They choose to believe everything that's fed to them by media.

Okay, so I didn't see this topic anywhere, I hope I didn't miss it. One of my guilty pleasures on YouTube is watching Antphrodite, a tarot reader who does celebrity/pop culture/true crime readings on YouTube and Twitch. Although I think they're fun, when I first saw them, I had some questions about the efficacy of celebrity tarot readings, so I would like to talk about it and see what you guys think. Basically, when I was first learning to read, the woman who taught me told me that you should not "read" someone without their permission because that violates a boundary and their personal space (and also it is very difficult to tell if you are getting accurate inform…

Do any of you here reads comic books? I'm in my 40's now, and I recently found a new love for comic books and graphic novels! In my youth, I never read comics. I was more into prose books and encyclopedia. I started being interested by the occult, magic, sorcery and tarot at 13 years old, in 1993. I started reading comics after I saw the Doctor Strange movie in 2016, I loved every minutes of it, particularly the quick references to the chakras and the auras, and all the mysticism of what we call magick. So, that movie picked my interest in Doctor Strange comics (and many others), and during the last 5 years, I bought lots of them and saw many iterations of the tarot in th…

What are some good tarot courses? In videos. I will like to improve my tarot reading skill.

To all PCS fans who want to know more about her beyond what was explored in the Artwork & Times book included in the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set, US Games is set to publish Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story next month. Written by Stuart R. Kaplan with Mary K. Greer, Elizabeth Foley O’Connor and Melinda Boyd Parsons, it is hard-bound, measures 8” x 10.5”, and has a whopping 440 pages with full-color illustrations. As is written in the book's USG site page: I love the RWS, and to say that I'm very curious about this book is an understatement.

I was wondering if some of you have bought the book: 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot by T. Susan Chang Information from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/36-Secrets-T-Susan-Chang/dp/1716325099 The minor arcana of the tarot have an astrological secret: 36 of them, in fact. In the early 20th century, members of the British secret society of the Golden Dawn created what would become the world's best-known tarot deck: the Rider Waite Smith tarot. They also created an infrastructure of esoteric correspondences around the deck, assigning each minor card numbered 2 through 10 in each of the four suits, to a decan—a 10°…

Has anyone else played Sayonara Wild Hearts? It's this amazing pop-album rhythm game that came out last autumn to spectacular reviews and also won Arcade game of the year from the 2019 video game awards. The entire game is themed around the Major Arcana and your literally play as the Fool through around 20 stages of phenomenal soundtrack and varied gameplay. It's such an amazing game and only about an hour long if you don't have to repeat too many of the stages. It's like $12 or so and available on most platforms. Here is a full analysis of the game's use of Tarot (spoilers for everything of course): Sayonara Wild Hearts: Use of Tarot in Game Design and Narrative …

Please move if I posted in the wrong section. So- I originally used the regular DM with borders and it didn't do much for me but languish in a cupboard until I gifted it. Recently- I tried out the borderless and for some reason, I really meshed with it much more than before. Probably a combination of life changes, me changes and, to a small extent, loving borderless decks. That being said- I have refreshed myself with reading with this deck for the fall as I am also getting ready to plunge into his TdM style deck and oracle deck (ole Mildred). As I have been using it, I was wondering if the big book is worth it? I feel it is a very readable deck on its own- an…

How many tarot books do you have? I have about 20. All ebooks.

Does anybody else have these books by Donald Michael Kraig? I know almost nothing about magick - raw newbie here. I thought it might prove very beneficial if I explore how it can be applied to the Tarot. I have only scanned the books but I've never really read them. To those who already work with magick, were these books helpful, and would you recommend them? Or do you have other books which you think are simply better, or more appropriate for beginners?

I'm new here :). I wanted to know if there are any more Mawang-fans hanging out here? For those of you who don't already know about it, it is a Korean tv series that became really popular in Asia a couple of years ago. It features a psychic woman who can read objects (psychometry) and she is asked to help the police solve some murderers where a tarot card (from Stella's tarot) has been sent to the victims. It is a really well made show and you can watch all episodes with English subtitles for free on YouTube. (Just search for Mawang Lucifer). I have the Stella's tarot and it is one of my absolute favorites, and this show has just made it even better. They talk about taro…

Here’s the URL for it: It’s supposed to be on April 30 (IDK what timezone, so best to check on the link above). The Stream is an interactive show (it’s not staged, and I know because they did feature my tweet on an old episode about decriminalisation/legalisation of sex work in like 2013). I heard a lot of interactive radio shows in the US are staged, this one is real tho. You can tweet them here: I’m not sure how it’ll go, but AFAIK these people should be safe/open-minded to deal with. IIRC, they also did a documentart on contributions of Islam to science—unless I’m confusing that with something the BBC did (so they’re good about reconciling spiritual …

Hi, so I've been a Persona fan for a long time, and although I credit coming across a certain novelty deck at a convention for getting me to try Tarot for myself, I credit this series for instilling that interest in me to begin with, even if I didn't act on it until just over a year ago. I have recently been playing Persona 5 Royal, as I got the Digital Deluxe version of its sequel when it came out and figured now would be the time to finally get into the Royal version. As someone who now practices Tarot, the scenes with Chihaya are now especially interesting to me, and I think her fortune telling prowess is quite embellished. Anyways, I've been quite intr…

Hi all, has anybody purchased decks on the Fool's Dog app and then changed to a new phone? I just got my new phone, migrated everything, but can't get the decks I had bought through the app anymore. They are not on google-play anymore for me, and nowhere in my list of apps that I have. emailed the app-people but no reply so far.

Any recommendations, paid or free?

Found this gem in the old AT. To those who haven't watched it yet, do try to see the Tarology documentary by Enrique Enriquez. It's very insightful, and it's free to watch in the link I'll provide below. And yup it's legit. It's around movie-length, and I never got bored at all. I hope that you enjoy it too. Here it is: http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/tarology

What are some of your tarot book recommendations?

Check out this Vice article About tarot reader Jessica Dore :) https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/3kge9v/this-twitter-therapist-is-using-tarot-cards-to-help-her-followers

I have neither more space nor more money to get more physical books (I actually gave half of my books away when we moved last year) and I have been looking to find free books or libraries but most what I found is either shady or clearly illegal (why has no one closed Scribd down yet?) and you have to pay for on top. The one page which looked legit, as it was a free online library, proved to be violating copyright as well. And while I am well aware copyright laws need to be updated to the reality of a world where basically anything goes, I prefer not to support those who earn money with other people's work. I have literally no money on my own, as I get no disab…
